Help Identifying SE/30 NIC
Posted by: Sunoo on 2019-01-02 07:28:58
I just got this NIC for an SE/30 that was sold as working, but I can't figure out who made it, so I can't get the right drivers. The seller claims to not know either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Install A/UX and it should work, plus give you the details with a little prodding. It only takes an hour or so, assuming you have the right gear.

Are you saying this won't work in Mac OS? Or just that I need A/UX to identify the card?

He’s saying AUX will give you the details.

i think I have a card that looks the same. I used regular old Asante drivers and it worked. I’d try using those first, it’s quick and easy to check.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Fire up NewerTech SlotInfo and see what it tells you.

Any suggestions where to find that? I'm coming up empty in my searches.

I tried the Asante drivers, no luck.

I couldn't find SlotInfo, but I found TattleTech, and it identifies as being made by A-Series?

Okay, I found another thread where it said to use the Farallon drivers. I had that driver disk on hand, so I tried it, and it seems to be detected correctly now. Now I just need to find an ethernet cable and see if I can convince it to connect.

Yours is very similar to mine. Same components for the most part, just moved around. And what do you know... Mine also says ASERIES V1.0! And it was Farallon I was thinking of, not Asante (as you found out yourself).

Must have been some generic card sold back in the day.

As long as it works! 🙂
